I just bought a Kodiak Stove insert for $150 for use out in my garage/shop. Guy said it was removed from his parents house in 1986 and he thought it was a 1976 year stove.
It was all rusty and pitted from being left in a barn for many
years, but the metal was sound. I sand blasted it, replaced the air vent bolts
on the doors, replaced the gaskets, and gave it three coats of BBQ Black paint.
It came out pretty good. I then placed it on some 16" chimney blocks to
get it up off the floor for easier loading and to prevent any gasoline fumes
from reaching it. ( I do not store gas or other flammables in my garage but
I do park in it)
Now I could measure for the chimney pipe. Ordered one 60" section of galvanized
Class A pipe which I painted BBQ Black, one stainless cap, 2 four foot sections
of single wall, one 11"slip fit single wall, one Class A to single wall
adapter, one stove top adapter and one damper assembly. I already had the roof
support left over from the fireplace install. All I had to do was fabricate
the Uni-Strut support for the roof support bracket. Total height of chimney
from stove top to top of Class A pipe = just about 15'. I have the top of the
Class A section (Height does NOT include cap), 2 foot above the shops roof peak
and a bit over 3 feet above the metal roof. I used a red silicon boot to seal
the hole in the roof.
